Shedding Layers by Shedding Light

This course invites you to embark on an adventure of discovery as you gently unwind and shed the layers of your tangled self.

You know which self I'm talking about: that overwhelmed, sometimes grumpy, and fragmented self that has lost the ability to live fully and think big; the self that is fully padded with all kinds of protections (and stuff) to ward off the calamities which "are certain to come at any moment"; the self that feels like there is a simpler way, but can't seem to figure out where it is and how to cultivate it. Yes, these are the layers that will be melting away.

Take a few moments today to reflect on your goals for this course using the prompts below. Use the time, too, to release any apprehensions, worries, and reflect on what it would mean to feel more spacious in your home and life.

DailyOM Course Spotlight

by Abi Carver

One of the reasons yoga is so effective at alleviating pain in the lower back, neck and shoulders is that it works on a number of different levels simultaneously--loosening up joint restrictions, stretching tight muscles, re-activating weak muscles, adjusting alignment, relaxing the body and calming the mind. Yoga--along with a few other simple techniques--can be really effective at relieving the pain. We can release tension, restore range of motion and re-activate weakened muscles. A regular yoga practice has the potential to prevent and heal injury, to make you stronger, fitter, more supple, to enhance your physical performance and to sharpen your mental focus. However, with everything you have to do, we know that you don't have time to find a 90-minute yoga for recovery class to attend every week. That's why Abi Carver put together this course to distill and simplify this crucial aspect of your wellbeing into 15-minute guided video practices.
